Minnesota firearms season opened Saturday, and my Wife, myself and several other hunter noted prime behavior in whitetail bucks. Wife witnessed 2 different bucks grunting steadily and following does. Also noted on game camera from Friday-Saturday night. I noted 2 different small bucks following does around also. Other hunters noted similar behavior and active scrape tending.
Looks like not quite to the peak breeding time, but we are definitely in the peak pre-rut which IMHO is the best time to be in the woods.
